Evan is Potty-Trained!
After months of trying to beg, bribe, and persuade our sweet little Evan to try to get potty trained, we finally had a break through!!! I decided he had to stay completely naked in order to learn the 'feeling' of needing to pee- right before or even as it was happening. So at the end of October I decided to commit to not allowing a diaper on him whenever we were just hanging out at the house. He HATED this! He would walk around the house holding his diaper, crying and begging for me to put it on. He would sit on the potty sometimes, but then he would eventually have an accident! Well we did this for a few days, and finally we had some success... pee pee and even poo poo in the potty!!
The next week went more smoothly- and while he would still resist not wearing his diaper, he would eventually get over it, He even asked to wear undies outside of the house a few days. I allowed it, even though it was followed by a few success stories and a few accidents!
BUT the third week was all success!!! On Monday morning (Nov 9), he woke up and took off his diaper to pee pee in the potty!! Yay! Then he insisted on wearing his undies to school! I asked him to wear a pull-up, but he said he wanted undies and said, "Mom, there are toilets at school for when I need to go potty!" OK Evan- you go!!! He did great!! I put a diaper on him to sleep at night, but that's all! He even insisted that he wear undies for his naps (which usually last 2-3 hours!). His only accident that whole week was during his nap! He has had a few other accidents since then, but only wears diapers at night now (and occasionally during his nap if I make him!).
After this wonderful week, we had agreed that he deserved a reward but hadn't decided what it would be. Then, we went to Old Navy to get some clothes, and Evan found a Drew Brees jersey all by himself! The perfect gift for our boy!!! He put it on as soon as we got home and carried around his 'Drew Brees' stuffed friend that his dad got him a while ago! It was really cute!!!
I am so excited to say that our sweet boy, at 3 years and 3 months, is finally potty trained! Yay Evan!!!! He loves wearing his undies, and although I am biased, I must say he looks pretty cute in them too!!!
